  Y/n hugged Mitsuri close in a tight and warm hug. Her kimono sleeves draped over the love Hashira like a blanket.
  "Ooooooooh Mitsuri!" The two girls squealed as they rejoiced over seeing eachother. "How have you been?"
  "I've been great Y/n-sama. You look so pretty! Like a princess." They continued to squeal and talk until Kocho finally pulled them apart.
  "Mitsuri! Give miss Y/n some space. I'm sure she's had a busy day today..right?" Y/n gave Kocho and nervous smile.
  "Y-yeah..busy. With..important things." The three exchanged laughs before stopping as they heard a commotion behind them. Turning around, all of the Hashiras had taken to a low bow. Their heads to the ground and eyes closed. Y/n paused feeling embarrassed.
  "A-ah, no please don't. You all are fine. There's no need to bow-" Kocho and Mitsuri giggled.
  "Please Y/n-sama. You're the master's ward and a prominent figure to the household. They're merely being respectful." Eventually, all of the Hashira got up. All smiling at her with a strange sense of familiarity.
  "Have you all eaten yet?" There was a mixture of nods and shakes of their heads.
  "Hmm. Well I'll see what I can get you guys-"
  "Ah, no need miss Y/n! We'll be able to get something for ourselves if we need it." Sanemi spoke up. Almost forcing a smile as he tried to be polite.
  "Well don't be afraid to ask." She smiled. Rengoku and Tengen looked up at her smiling. She couldn't help but do the same.
  "It's getting late. We all need sleep and so do you. With your permission, may we please all visit you tomorrow?" The stone Hashira asked. Rubbing his string of beads together in-between his palms. Y/n nodded.
  "Yes I'd love that. Until then. Get good rest and thank you all for attending today." They all nodded and began to turn back to their rooms. However, Rengoku had opted to say behind. He quietly got up and walked up to the young miss before tapping her shoulder. She quickly spun around only to be lifted up in a tight warm embrace.
  "We meet again, Y/n. How are you?" His voice was loud compared to the others, almost too loud for her but she didn't complain.
  "Rengoku!" She hugged him back. Their foreheads rubbing gently against each other's as they shared their moment.
  "Come. I will take you back to your room!" The fire Hashira gently moved her so that he was carrying her bridal style. His body making her feel safe and warm as he made his way into her too.

  "I have missed you greatly. Tengen has told me about you sneaking out again. That was very noble but you mustn't do that. You could get hurt." Y/n shook her head and hugged him.
  "Let's not worry about it any more. How have you been?" Kyoujuou paused as she hugged his massive frame. Blushing a little from both the adrenaline and the feeling of her against him.
  "I have been busy myself. I recently came back from a mission on the famous Mugen Train." Y/n looked up to him as he told his story.
  "I was also there with young Kamado, Zenitsu and Inoske. The trio proved to be quiet strong. I am thankful for that."
  "Did you encounter any demons?" She asked. Y/n moved a hand up to his long hair as if waited for some sort of permission. Rengoku nodded and Y/n got to work. Grabbing a nearby comb and begining to style his hair.
  "The demon I fought was able to control ice. His name was Akaza. He was quite the enemy. We had begun out battle soon after some dreadful events I'd rather not speak of.." Y/n nodded as he spoke. Eventually starting a little braid on his hair making him laugh.
  "We fought for what felt like an eternity and he was able to manage several deviating blows onto me. However, I refused to yeild!" He yelled out this time making her shrink. He took note and pulled her onto his lap. Holding her close as she started a new braid. It was bliss for a few moments as she worked. Rengoku couldn't help but laugh a bit as she struggled to get his thick and sometimes matted hair into a ting little braid. Finally, he paused before speaking again. A deep sigh came out as well.

  "We were very close to finishing when he asked me a peculiar question."
  "Oh?" Rengoku held her close, like a child would a stuffed animal.
  "He asked me if I wished to become a demon..." Y/n paused, looking up at him with a look of confusion and sympathy.
  "..what did you say?" Rengoku sighed, she felt his body untense. Y/n acted quickly, moving up so her chest was facing his and moved her arms up to be around his neck. "If you don't wish to say anything then you don't have to. I don't want to push you to do anything you don't want." The two smiled and held eachother close. It was almost midnight and Rengoku was still in his uniform. As for Y/n, her kimono wouldn't take long to remove if she rushed it. She shook her head and made a decision.
  "Sleep with me tonight."
  "W-what?"
  "Sleep with me tonight. I don't want you to be alone." She was as sincere as she could be, her eyes were wide and full of worry. Rengoku wanted to say no. He could get yelled at, but she was asking for him to stay..should he?

  "I can't. I'll get in trouble and so will you." He tried to get her off but she just held tighter, like a bear cub to a tree.
  "Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?" She whined. The flame Hashira didn't know what to do. Who could say no to that face?
  "Alright alright. Just, let me undress and we can-" Y/n had already hopped off. Doing her best to take off her kimono as carefully as possible. Rengoku smiled at her. Last he had seen her she was just some girl he had rescued and happened to have shared a night with. But beside all of that and the way she acted and the way she stuttered and the way her nose scrunched up when she was nervous, she was just some girl that wanted him to spend the night with her. Just some girl who somehow already know how to make him calm down, and always smelled of wisteria, and never backed down from a challenge. Just some girl..



  Just some girl he had a chance with.
